[La-cgs] Definition of a transfer graduate student

[Menon, Sanjay]

Ramu,

At LSUS, we don’t have a graduate equivalent of the undergraduate transfer student who in most cases is someone who might have completed significant UG coursework elsewhere, especially the first year courses.

We only talk about transfer credits, regardless of what the student’s current status is (enrolled elsewhere, dropped out, etc.).

Ramu,

We do not really classify our students as "transfer grad".  If the student is starting a new program, they would be classified as "new grad".  If they are returning to finish a program they started earlier, the are classified as "returning" and all previous information will be placed on their degree plan.

Dear LA Council:

We are trying to come up with a definition of a transfer graduate student, and it seems that there are policies at the UL System level and in our own Catalog about transfer admissions (GPA, good standing, eligibility to return, etc., etc.) but the definition is not clear.

Is it understood or implied that a "transfer admission" applies to a student who is enrolled elsewhere at the time of application to your institution, or does it also apply to someone who dropped out of college for a while and is now applying to you? I know that we require transcripts of all previous college work regardless of the current or prior enrollment status at the time of application.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Ramu
